Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 552

The restaurant was situated at the top of a mountain peak. There was a cable car that could take them straight up to the summit. From there, they could truly appreciate the glorious view of the setting sun from their vantage point in the cable car.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the foursome sat in two pairs.

Staring at the Ethan and Garrett in front of her, Janet chuckled and said, "I have such a familiar feeling, almost like deja vu. Is your girlfriend going to rush over again, Garrett?"

It was so awkward in the moment that followed her comment.

"That isn't funny in the least bit, Janet. I've been single since I broke up with Tracey," Garrett said in a serious tone, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose and taking a sip from his bottle of water. Then he turned to take a cursory look at Laney before he looked at Janet again.

He had even raised his voice when he said the word "single".

Janet was actually quite astonished by the fact that over six months had elapsed yet Garrett was still single. After all, he changed his girlfriends at a high turnover rate.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know it. So you are done with being a playboy now?" She genuinely felt that he had changed significantly.

After considering it for a moment or two, Garrett peered through his glasses at the dishes on the table, and then replied, "I just want a serious, committed relationship now."

Janet nodded with an approving smile. Then she turned to Laney, who was busy eating.

Laney always ate quite a lot. Perhaps it was because she used up significant calories and physical strength when she trained daily. She had been eating, minding her own business, and didn't get involved in the conversation between Janet and Garrett.

"Laney, where do you live now? If you don't have a place to live, you can stay with me and Ethan for a while," Janet said, dishing out some more food for Laney.

"I haven't found a place to stay yet. I'll stay in a hotel for the time being. But thank you for the offer anyway," said Laney.

"I can help you find a place. Staying in a hotel is not very convenient after all," Garrett looked at her and said eagerly.

Without looking at him, Laney continued to eat. "It's alright. I am confident that I will be able to handle it myself."

Then Garrett lowered his head to eat in resignation.

Janet blinked her eyes in confusion and then sensed that something was amiss between the two.
